“Anyone who has raised more than one child knows full well that kids turn out the way they turn out - astonishingly, for the most part, and usually quite unlike their siblings, even their twins, raised under the same flawed rooftree. Little we have done or said, or left undone and unsaid, seems to have made much mark. It's hubris to suppose ourselves so influential; a casual remark on the playground is as likely to change their lives as any dedicated campaign of ours. They come with much of their own software already in place, waiting, and none of the keys we press will override it.” KnowsWayWellsChildrenLittlesMadeSaidDoneSeemsKidsTurnsLeftWaitingKeysMarkPressesRaisedCampaignsSoftwareDedicatedTwinsFlawedRemarksCasualSiblingInfluentialUndonePlaygroundsHubrisUnsaid Author:Barbara Holland
